What is the Most Requested Plastic Surgery?

Breast Augmentation, the Most Popular Procedure

Achieving the breast size you've always dreamed of is possible thanks to breast augmentation, a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the female breast according to each woman's priorities and desires. It's one of the most requested surgical procedures and has been performed for over 50 years.

While a common cosmetic surgery procedure, those considering it should have some basic information, beginning with a consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Current trends in breast augmentation surgery advocate for a natural result, with firm, beautiful breasts that make you feel good and, above all, are balanced with your overall appearance. It's important the result harmonizes with your features, remembering that fashions and ideal sizes can change.

Breast augmentation is suitable for those who desire larger breasts for aesthetic reasons and for women with breast hypoplasia or agenesis (lack of breast development) due to an underlying condition. It's also routinely performed for breast reconstruction after mastectomy due to cancer.

Ideal candidates are in good health and emotionally stable, have realistic expectations, and understand that breasts may sag somewhat after subsequent pregnancies. As breast development continues until the end of puberty, it's advisable to wait until then before undergoing this procedure.

Before the procedure, the surgeon will inform the patient of pre-operative behaviors and rules. Medications that may affect blood clotting, such as aspirin and its derivatives, should be avoided.

Cosmetic surgeons employ various techniques for breast augmentation. Choosing the right technique for each individual greatly impacts the outcome. Poor technique, placement, size, or implant shape selection can result in an unnatural look, not to mention potential complications.

After breast augmentation, it's recommended to rest at home for a week before resuming normal life to prevent infection or wound reopening. Following the specialist's guidelines is crucial for optimal results. Results are visible immediately post-surgery. Recovery is generally quick and easy; however, following postoperative instructions – such as sleeping on your back, avoiding raising arms above your head, wearing sports bras, and avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous activity – is vital.

Surgery for Self-Improvement

Cosmetic surgery is sometimes viewed frivolously, with the media often contributing to the perception of it as superficial. However, in most cases, it helps patients feel better about themselves and boosts self-esteem.

For example, otoplasty can correct ear defects in children, undoubtedly improving their confidence. Similarly, many women feel self-conscious about their breast size, sometimes even avoiding intimacy.

The decision to undergo surgery should be well-considered, but it's important to acknowledge that for many, it means regaining or achieving self-confidence. Cosmetic surgery is a tool for improving one's image, though it shouldn't replace efforts to build self-esteem.

It shouldn't be a substitute for self-esteem building. It's about psychological balance, understanding that cosmetic surgery can be a helpful resource.

The goal might be to feel younger or more attractive. However, physical, mental, and/or emotional health factors often play a role. Rhinoplasty, for instance, is often chosen for functional reasons, to improve breathing. Others seek reconstruction after accidents or illnesses like breast cancer.

It's about psychological balance, understanding the impact of this complex issue. Let's remember the World Health Organization (WHO) definition of health: "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Negative self-perception can lead to depression, isolation, and more serious mental health issues, hindering relationships and a fulfilling life. Therefore, cosmetic surgery should be viewed as something positive.

Those considering cosmetic surgery should consult an experienced, qualified professional who prioritizes ethics.

The crucial aspect is that the surgeon advises the patient on the best approach. This is the best guarantee of a successful outcome.
